Chapter 17

Eunhyuk didn't speak a word to Kim as they drove to lunch. He sighed softly as he passed his high school. As they passed the school, Eunhyuk could only think of Donghae. It was true, Eunhyuk still had feelings for Donghae, but he knew he couldn't and shouldn't.

"Is that where you attend school?" Kim asked, trying to liven up the mood.

"Yeah..." Eunhyuk said in a 'how did you know that' voice.

"I remember you saying something about Donghae being your senior..." Kim replied.

"Yeah." Eunhyuk simply said.

Kim dropped the conversation. She sensed Eunhyuk wasn't up for talking.

Eunhyuk closed his eyes and tried to stop thinking of Donghae. He listened to the smooth sound of Kim's Honda driving on the smooth pavement.

"We're here." Kim tapped Eunhyuk on the shoulder.

Eunhyuk quickly opened his eyes and blushed. "Oh sorry," He apologized for falling asleep.

"No, its fine." Kim giggled and stepped out of her car.

Eunhyuk stepped out of his and took a look at his surroundings. It wasn't like downtown, where he was accustomed to. "Are we down south?"

"Yeah, there's a nice little seafood shop over here." Kim said. "You like seafood, right?"

"Oh, yeah I love seafood." Eunhyuk smiled.

Donghae drove smoothly down Via Roma street. Sophia sat in the passenger seat quietly singing to a song on the radio. Donghae glanced at her. The high sun hit her perfectly. Her face seemed to glisten in the sunlight. Donghae smiled sweetly at her and turned back to the road.

"You know, Sophia, I had you all wrong." Donghae confessed. "I thought, well, when we started dating I thought you were this shallow princess. But you've really changed." Donghae met Sophia's eyes. "I'm really liking this 'you.'"

Sophia smiled warmly. "Donghae," She broke their gaze. She turned her eyes to the road. "Donghae are you trying to tell me you are developing intimate feelings with me?" Teased Sophia.

Donghae looked back at the road. "I want to say yes, but my heart is with Eunhyuk, Sophia." He paused. "Sorry."

"Don't be. I'm starting to see you more as an older brother now." Sophia sighed. She still had intimate feelings for Donghae, but knew she would never be able to see him the same way, knowing he was in love with someone else. A man no less.

Eunhyuk rubbed his hands together to keep them from freezing. He blew warm air on them and tried shoving them in his pockets. Nothing seemed to be working.

"Are you hands cold?" Kim asked.

Eunhyuk shook his head. "Just a little bit, but I'm fine."

"Mine are warm, want me to hold one of them?" She asked, offering Eunhyuk a hand.

Eunhyuk shook his head once more. "I'm fine. I'm use to the cold."

Kim stopped walking, her hand outstretched towards Eunhyuk. "Take it. I'm a very insistent person. I'm not going to start walking again until you take my hand." Kim said with a laugh.

Eunhyuk stopped walking and froze. Her words were almost verbatim to Donghae's that fateful night. He stared at a small pebble on the ground. He got lost in it's simplicity. His mind traveled back to that day.

"Eunhyuk. Eunhyuk? Eunhyuk!" Kim walked up to Eunhyuk and waved a hand in front of his dazed face.

Eunhyuk was brought back to reality. "Oh, sorry." He blinked rapidly and forced a smile. "I just got lost in my thoughts..."

"Oh that's okay." Kim smiled. "Here," She grabbed hold of Eunhyuk's hands and rubbed them against hers. "Wow! Your hands were really cold." She let go of his right hand and continued to hold onto his left. "Come on, the restaurant isn't to far away."

Eunhyuk didn't pull his hand away from Kim's. He instead grasped onto it and continued to walk with her hand in his.

-

Donghae turned the corner of the street and slowly strolled down. He turned the corner once more and spotted a young couple. He instantly thought of Eunhyuk.

Sophia noticed the couple too. She was the first to realize who they were. She felt her heart drop for Donghae. She looked over at him. He looked like he just found out who it was.

Donghae's heart broke in two.
Those two broke into two extra pieces.
Those four pieces broke in half as well.
It continued to break until there was nothing but heart dust.

"This changes things..." Sophia spoke up.

Donghae slowed the car down and threw his head on the steering wheel. He let the tears fall from his eyes.

"Donghae I'm so sorry." Sophia rubbed her ex's back.

"No, don't be. Its my fault. I pushed him away. I made it seem like I had no more feelings for him. Its all my fault." He chocked out.
